  • Commented on Just posted: Nikon D800 first impressions and 'real world' samples news story

    If you wait long enough, it may be free. Are you buying it to show off or you need it? If so, buy it and forget the cost of the camera.

  • Replied in They do different things
    What you said is quite true. But, when you adjust exposure in the camera, you will not be able to freeze a ball in low light sports photography because by compensating the exposure, you shoot at a...
  • Replied in 70-200 VRII + 1.7xTC or 70-300
    Can you tell me how you can equate the 1.7xTC E II to the 70-300mm f4.5-5.6 in cost? eBay history gives the TC $300-$325, and the 70-300mm $350-$400. Regardless, as others have said, the TC...
  • Replied in Boys Gymnastic
    Your son(?) on the parallel bar is out of focus, not just due to slow shutter speed. The coach or spotter is out of focus as well. The kid standing in the back is more in focused. Were you...
  • Replied in C+C Girls HS Basketball
    These were taken with Nikon D3s with 85mm f1.8D lens at ISO 6400 dpr://galleries/816636049/photos/1775800 dpr://galleries/816636049/photos/1775801
  • Replied in Money Wasted Purchasing 85 1.4G Lens???
    Well said. A lot has to do with what your needs are and what you are willing to pay for that extra "quality". Quality vs cost is never a linear function. For me, the 85mm f1.8D lens is just fine...
  • Commented on Mirrorless Cameras: A Primer article

    Am I wrong to say that mirrorless cameras are just glorified point-and-shoot cameras with a larger sensor and capable of interchanging lens? OK, they are thinner and lighter, but before I even...

  • Created thread AF-S 300mm f2.8 VR on D90
    I normally shoot sports with the 300mm f2.8 on a D3s because I need ISO 6400 in low light HS stadium. But, tomorrow, I will be shooting daytime baseball from the stand, just get a different...
  • Replied in Why so concerned about high ISO?
    Some of us are sports shooter. Even the D700 isn't good enough. It's acceptable at ISO 3200, but some high school stadiums lights are very bad. To freeze a shot at f2.8, I need ISO 6400 which...
  • Replied in D3s Package Content
    Thanks for all the inputs. My mind is at ease now. I may decide to tape a piece of cellophane over the LCD to make myself more comfortable. Then after a few months, I may have the "who cares"...
  • Replied in Do I need the D800?
    any gun will do. :)
  • Replied in D3s Package Content
    Thanks. It's nice to know.
  • Replied in D3s Package Content
    Thanks. I checked eBay. There are covers for D3 and D3x, but not D3s. Very strange, as if, the D3s users are so gentle with their cameras none is provided, required, or available! What were the...
  • Created thread D3s Package Content
    I bought a new 3Ds.I got a question in regards to "Package Content", on page 1 of the User's Manual. It does not show that the camera comes with the LCD monitor cover. This seems strange as my...
  • Replied in I held the D4 in my Hands at PMA!
    Please explain...D3s on steroid Do sports shooter care about video? I don't Do sports shooter care about facial recognition? I doubt it. What are the features sport shooters would...
  • Replied in D4 vs 1dx
    I'm dumping Nikon and moving over to Canon. Much less drama. :)
  • Replied in D4 offers little for still photographers
    I think he is trying to convince you to compare what Canon has to offer that Nikon cannot or doesn't. If you are a diehard Nikon user, then no matter how inferior the product is you will never be...
  • Commented on Nikon D4 overview article

    I take lots of pictures with the D700, 55K so far. I use USB to download the images from the camera to the computer. This puts a lot less wear and tear on the CF card having to remove and install...

  • Replied in Will D700 owners get screwed?
    The D3s will be a fine camera from those who will be tossing their D700. D4 upgraded mostly in the video section, which I don't care. I suspect from price comparison, the D3s makes more sense to...
